According to Greek mythology, when kingfishers, known as halcyons, built their nests, the gods would calm the seas to keep the nestlings safe. Today, the expression halcyon days has come to mean periods of blissful tranquillity, a feeling captured in this ethereal bracelet design. Our Italian chain artisans craft the Halcyon by creating two strands of chains interspersed with beaded stations. The chains emit a glittering light thanks to the diamond-cut faceting around every link.

Jewellery Care Guide
It is natural for sterling silver jewellery to tarnish or discolour over time, particularly if the piece is worn regularly. Tarnish is caused by several factors which include:
- Exposure to moisture, humidity, direct sunlight for long periods of time.
- Acidity (ph balance) of a person’s skin, which in turn is affected, for example, by diet, medication and stress.
- Exposure to perfume, soap, moisturiser, shampoo etc. and cleaning products such as dishwashing liquid and bleach.
- Exposure to chlorine.

- Exposing jewellery to excessive heat or prolonged periods of direct sunlight.
- Use of commercial silver ‘dip’ solutions as they are unsuitable for cleaning hollow, oxidised, stone-set, pearl or plated jewellery and can cause surface deterioration.
